APPARATUS FOR GENERATING AND COLLECTING PARTICULATE MATTER

An apparatus (10) for generating and collecting particulate matter derived from combusting a carbon-containing fuel in oxidising gas comprises a fuel burner (12) with a nozzle in which the nozzle is housed in a container (14). The container has a gas inlet (22) and a gas outlet (24); the gas outlet...

Zusammenfassung:An apparatus (10) for generating and collecting particulate matter derived from combusting a carbon-containing fuel in oxidising gas comprises a fuel burner (12) with a nozzle in which the nozzle is housed in a container (14). The container has a gas inlet (22) and a gas outlet (24); the gas outlet connects with a conduit (16) for transporting the gas to atmosphere which is associated with means (18) for forcing gas to flow from the gas inlet via the container and the conduit to atmosphere. Located within the conduit is a station (22) for collecting particulate matter from gas flowing through the conduit. The gas flow-forcing means is controlled in response to a detected gas flow rate at the gas inlet to ensure the rate of gas flow at the gas inlet is maintained at a desired rate, thereby to promote particulate matter formation. A method for collecting particulate matter derived from combusting carbon-containing fuel is also disclosed.
